Always smart to see the bigger picture and future cash flow potential!

Are there any questions you'd suggest asking to better understand this loan structure and its potential limitations?

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

I'm trying to pinpoint my financial strategy in attaining these projects and HMLs are always suggested to me.My goal this year is to buy my first investment.

I know there is not a ton of resources that don't require large financial commitments, just wanted to see if anybody knew of cheaper alternatives. 

@Chris CoreYou're in a strong financial position, but since house hacking isn’t lowering your expenses in your market, it's time to pivot.

Right now, my focus is on leveraging my degree and skills to land a higher-paying job, increase my annual income, and ultimately grow my net worth.Real estate has always been something I’ve been interested in, and my long-term goal is to start investing in both real estate and retirement to build financial security.

Since I'm not a pigeon forge local, I also don't have a good feel for the appropriate cost of goods and services either.While I don't necessarily suspect anything nefarious from the management company, I don't now that our financial incentives are always well-aligned. 

For liability purposes our financial advisor is recommending creating a LLC for managing all of the STR stuff.

Your property definitely has the potential to benefit from a cost segregation study.
